NBCC - The rest of the story/after story from Mrs. Gaynair

lmao airportworker - i'm sorry but that is patently ridiculous.

-- taking mugshots of all visitors on the property - seriously?? Putting forth the concept that "all visitors are potential criminals unless proven otherwise"?? You seriously think insulting people in this manner would be a good business practice, or garner more customers for the hotel? this would be an EPIC fail.

besides which it's logsitically impractical - what hotel wants to add a whole new layer of bureaucratic tasks for staff to do, along with the extra filing and categorizing this would create for the front desk staff?

not to mention insulting & demeaning guests by implying said guest is a child who cannot be responsible for themselves and their visitors.

again - it is not the hotels' responsibility to monitor, nor legislate, who their paying guests associate with. if their policy is to permit visitors on-property, all they can do is require said visitors to sign in, for basic security purposes; imho that's just basic common-sense.

Muck I think guests DO usually get signed in places .I am sure it was said the ladies friend was booked in there.
I want to be safe on my vacation too
Even having signed in guests does not make things safe though as they may not have provided all of their details or even real details tourist or Jamaican.
Personally I do not stay somewhere where people can wander in and out freely and nobody know who they are with or what they are doing there.That goes for anyone from anyplace.
Some of the big expensive all inclusives offer day passes and I am sure they do not have a disclaimer on the passes saying no Jamaicans.
What I think some of us want or mean is we want no violent people or robbers but they come in all shapes and forms and most likely would ignore the sign!All we can do is book at a place we are happy with that employs good honest staff and use the security on offer.

Its used in parts of London, Glasgow and in Amsterdam, it is only used when paying guests are signing in others for the day or night, btw you do know that in New York stills are taken from the cctv of everybody who enters at least one hotel i know of, the still is then fed through a number of databases
